Heats

We just wrapped up the 32nd annual Santa Cruz Paddlefest. The scores are settled and everyone is absolutely stoked. We had sun, wind, waves, rain, smiles, more waves, and an amazing roster of athletes participating over the weekend. It truly feels like we put on an event that Dennis would have been proud of. That’ll mark a success in our books and we hope to see you all next year!

Full Results and Wrap up!

We are proud to have been able to put on another spectacular event for 2017! With highly contestable and downright fun conditions Steamer Lane really gave us a great canvas to work with. You couldn’t ask for a better arena for athletes to showcase their skills. We saw some incredible waves over the weekend and couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.

During the day, look for results coming in on our Facebook! We’ll post full results tonight after the awards.

This morning saw some poor conditions but the guys and gals out there crushed it! This afternoon that wind picked up and made things a bit… challenging. We ended up having to call the Master’s, HP Women’s, and HP Men’s heats. The plan to to make up for it on Sunday and stay tuned for that. Today’s results. friday_heats_2017_score

Surfing Steamer Lane!

Party at Ponos!

6:30pm Raffle & SUP Race awards start at Ponos

As a reminder to competitors:

The only place to enter the water for the surf contest zone is the Cowells staircase or beach. Due to safety limitations set by the city the following areas are banned for entering the water: the Surfer Statue, Lighthouse Staircase, cliffs, and/or It’s beach. Any competitors caught by an official entering the water in this way will face a DQ.

Well, what can I say? The 30th Santa Cruz Paddlefest was a success! I can’t believe the amazing conditions that we had for all three days. Our all star roster of competitors really put on a good show for us. To top it off, everyone was smiling (seriously, everyone was). I am thrilled and proud of the event that we brought to our paddle sports enthusiasts this year and I hope to see each and every one of you for next years SCPF!
